Where Sleeping Dogs Lie

December 8th, 2013

“While my hubby, son, and I were playing Minecraft, my 2.5 year old daughter was playing in the playroom behind me. After a while I noticed the absence of noise, turned around, and found this sight. She had fallen asleep in the last position she had been playing in which happened to be laid out on top of my Corgi. The dog is not very intelligent and just laid there with a 35 lb toddler on top of her for what must have been 20 minutes or more. After snapping the pic I took the baby to her own bed and the dog acted like nothing happened.”

Is it a cute picture? Yes, but am I the only one wondering why the heck a 2 year old was not even noticed, as mom stated, “for 20 minutes or more”. Luckily the “dumb dog” was there to keep her company, who knows what else she could have been into playing that long by herself with no one checking on her!

Right! I was left in my room all the time when I was a young child (1980′s) and my mom would just stick her head in and check on me every so often. LOOK IM STILL ALIVE! Wow it is amazing. seriously, I have 5 kids of my own all 4 and under, and I do this with them and they are also still alive and doing just fine. =)

Yes, Corgis are very intelligent in some ways, and she is super protective of my daughter (who loves our dogs fiercely –hubby’s is a husky mix and she’d probably try to ride her if she could) It is a in-family joke that we refer to her as a dumb dog.

Her name is Menschi-named after the Pomeranian in Excel Saga-and is Japanese for “Emergency Food Supply”.

Yes, we love our dogs. They are well trained and very affectionate, and I am sure they’d protect the children with their lives if necessary.

Corgis are very intelligent, and also, very protective of their families. This dog was just protecting the smallest person in the house, even tho’ it outweighed her/him. To move would have been to unnecessarily disturb her human – Be aware, you have an intelligent dog and to not be aware of that could cause you some grief! :<)
